Elon Musk: The FDNY veteran who worked 9/11 and Covid isn’t qualified to lead the department
(www.motherjones.com)
Why is Musk's opinion on the FDNY "news"?
Sadly being rich makes you opinion on random crap important for some crazy reason.
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah how would he know anything about this? He doesn't live Anywhere near there. No one is asking him
He also doesn't know anything about "qualifications". He dropped out of school and won the dotcom capitalism lottery so now he thinks school and qualifications are for chumps. He hired teenagers to purge the federal government. He's the last person anyone should listen to complain about "qualifications".
Says the man who can't get a car door to reliably open, burning people alive in minor collisions. Meanwhile, EMS trains to open those doors and save lives. STFU, musk.
he wrote, adding, “Proven experience matters when lives are at stake.”
Which is exactly the reason a 31-year veteran with experience got that job. I'm constantly impressed how Musk manages to always phrase his bullshit in a way that makes crystal clear it's nothing but insane ramblings.
I only just realised that she's not 31 years old.
He literally hired teenagers when lives were at stake.
Elon, and fuckers like him, are a major driving source of human misery. Both because of the wealth hording and politics that wealth hording necessitates, but also because he probably speaks to people and imagine how awful having to talk to that absolute garbage dump of a person would be.
Even in his most intimate interpersonal interactions, he probably mostly speaks at people like he's on social media.
Elon Musk isn't qualified to lead a hot dog stand. And yet here we are.
his hot dog got mangled by a "surgeon".
Do we really need to be aware of every one of this idiot's stupid fucking opinions in real-time? Holy fuck.
+1 for this, cataloguing his nonsense isn't newsworthy. Let him sit in his 44 billion dollar echo chamber and screech at bots. At this point everyone who's not delusional knows he's a miserable idiot conman who's carried by the talent and effort of people much smarter than he is on the rare occasion he can get out of their way. His opinion means less than nothing.
She's a woman. Small dicks are scared of smart women.
i have a small penis and I am not scared of smart women. please stop associating penis size with mysogyny
edit: Ill tone it down since I was groggy as shit this morning: damn us tiny peeners catchin strays
You may have a small penis but you don't sound like you're a small dick.
well elons dick is probably mangled from a surgery, probably no-dick, or a stump or close to it.
Maybe he went to Thailand for one of those embihgening 'procedurea'? I hear they don't go so well. Maybe that's why he has a complex with the country.
No joke, he's got a mangled dick. Dunno how it happened
And people with botched phallos or for example, a friend of mine who needed multiple surgeries on his genitals as a child should be assumed to be morally deficient?
Go wash the properity gospel out of your brain.
Some relevant viewing material.
Elon's name should always be followed with his title, Biggest Welfare Queen in the World.
Back in 1995, the FDNY did a hostile takeover of EMS.
EMS had originally been under the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation, a city agency that oversees the public hospitals. In 1993, HHC funded an independent study to see what the best way to move forward was. The consultants looked at all the options, including moving EMS to police or fire supervision, ro making it an independent service. They decided that the best course was to keep EMS under HHC, but give it $3 million to upgrade.
At about that time, FD decided they wanted to study taking over EMS. The City Council voted them $5 million to do a test where FDNY responded to EMS calls in one borough. Even though the New York State agency in charge of licensing paramedics said FD had failed, the City decided the test was a great success. FD got control of EMS.
Pretty much the day FD took over, old time EMS people started leaving. Some retired, and others went to other civil service jobs.
Only one Fire Chief bothered to take an ride-alongs with EMS. Most never stuck their nose into an EMS station.
Elon Musk says a lot of dumb untrue shit. Why is anyone even paying attention to what he says anymore?
Because everyone feels it appropriate to post the bond villain's every word. I wish I didn't need to hear it. I wish his arrest warrants were written and acted upon.
Elon Musk is not qualified to open his own damn mouth on any topic of authority.
From the article:
Musk is the richest person on the planet and a rabid opponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion measures, or DEI.
Let's call it what it is and stop sugar coating this white supremacist asshole. He's a racist piece if shit and has been given the massive bullhorn that was Twitter to spout his racist bullshit because the assholes who own Tesla stock keep giving him more money. Good people meed to fully cancel not only Tesla but SpaceX and any other company he is at the head of.
I don't care that Tesla has created innovative cars. They can be made by other companies just as easily. I don't care that SpaceX has innovative rockets. The technology exists it can exist again someplace else. This asshole needs to be canceled so hard that he can never come back again. The next non-conservative person who runs for president needs to run on a platform of ending any governmental relationship with Elon Musk, permanently.
Fuck you Elon, you cheese doodle. No one asked you. Go crash another rocket, or estrange your latest crotch goblin.
"The woke mind virus made me piss my pants again!"
ohh the duality of ketaman
Grok says: Elon has the best openly intolerant shit-takes!
"DEI has caused people to DIE,”
Your stupid cybertruck doors not opening during fires have caused so many people to DIE, journalists had to conduct their own research to warn the public because you wouldn't.
You don't have to be a gay or straight fire chief to know a death trap when you see one, yet you continue to sell your dumpsters of death to the public. Interesting...
Tesla promotes new door safety feature ahead of Bloomberg report on 15 deaths
And he would've gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for you meddling leftwing radical extremists at. ::checks source:: Bloomberg news...
Let's be honest, he probably will still get away with it bc men like him run the world and we live in a "merit based society," aMiRiTe? But at least fewer people may die in the future now that he's actually been forced to acknowledge he sold the public a death trap.
"Proven experience matters when lives are at stake.”
Lmao what a fucking joke 🤣🤣🤣 👌
It's like Gallagher but instead of a watermelon he gets paid to endanger the public, and destroy people's entire lives.
woman
Gay
OPRNLY gay
I mean, what do you expect? Of course little butthurt loser is going to screech to conservatives which will continue carrying the screech. This hurts them to their core.
They don't care about actual metrics or anything, just the thought that a woman could do something useful goes against their beliefs.
And a gay woman? Oh my god, that must be even worse!
Attacking the FDNY? Wait till Jon Stewart hears about this!
The only thing musk is qualified for is the receiving end of a guillotine
Jon Steward cracking his knuckles in the background…
Elon, just worry about South Africa. Okay?
